Note: It was a busy day in Jetsland on Friday beginning with Parker Ford being assigned to the Moose bringing the training camp roster down to 27. Still no Nikolaj Ehlers at skate and then the Jets bench boss broke the news that Ville Heinola suffered a fractured ankle in the game against the Senators on Thursday. We’ve got the full recap from the day that was here.
